The fourth of July is a definite favorite in the Hughes home. What is better than food, family, friends, fireworks, and fun?! Having all of this at the beach! We were blessed to be invited to my Aunt and Uncle's beach house in Florida to celebrate the holiday weekend so we headed down to FL on Saturday morning and got to stay until Tuesday morning. We were in Flagler Beach, which is a small community so you can walk, ride a bike, or a golf cart anywhere you go.
J was so excited to go kayaking in the ocean and of course wanted me to join him, but there wasn't much that he could have said that would have convinced me to go out into the deep, scary ocean on a kayak! Even alone, he had a blast! He said he saw a school of fish being watched by a piranha (yikes!) and a sea turtle (which are my favorite)!

We cooked a pig and Dad and J cooked calamari (which was a HUGE hit!) and fries.
Fun pictures from the night of fireworks!

We hope everyone had an amazing holiday weekend as well! As always, keep our soldiers all over the world in your prayers!
